It was a mixed bag of news this week on both the Bloomington Startup Weekend and CHI fronts, but the good far outweighed the bad. The sad news for my design team came in the form of mixed reviews on our own submission, one of just 40 international submissions by students willing to take on the wicked problem of designing for people experiencing homelessness. I include our three reviews with rebuttal analysis of each.
Sto andando al CHI
I committed this week to attending CHI by grabbing a small single room in Florence for the early April conference. Since it is freakin’ Italy, I’m going to try to pad the trip a bit on either end and get some site-seeing in. During the conference proper, though, there are few other things that piqued my interest.
